The Contribution of Forensic Medical Investigations in Road Accident Deaths.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Forensic medicine plays a crucial role in investigating fatalities resulting from road accidents, particularly in assessing physical injuries and toxicological findings to determine their correlation with accident dynamics. The expertise of forensic pathologists is essential not only in establishing the cause of death but also in reconstructing the events leading to the fatal outcome and identifying the potential influence of alcohol or psychoactive substances. The presence of such substances in road accident victims is a well-documented factor contributing to impaired driving, making forensic toxicology a key component in post-mortem examinations. When road accidents result in fatalities, forensic investigations, especially autopsies, provide critical insights into the cause of death and assist in determining any legal responsibilities. In many cases, judicial authorities mandate forensic examinations to clarify whether death resulted directly from the accident or was influenced by other factors such as pre-existing medical conditions or substance intoxication. This study reviews existing research on forensic investigations in road accidents, emphasizing their role in enhancing road safety measures and ensuring legal accuracy.
